(2022黑龙江哈尔滨高二阶段练习)Turtleshave an unfortunate habit of eating plastic
objects floating in the sea.These then cannot be digested,and may utimately kill them It is
widely assumed that this fondness for plastics is a matter of mistaken identity Floating plastic
bags,for instance,look simiar to jellyfish(水母),which many types of turtles love to eat Yet lots
of plastic objects that end up inside turtles have no similarity to jellyfish Joseph Pfaller of the
University of Florida therefore suspects that the smell of marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)
which grow oil floating plasticobjects fools turtles into feeding
Researchers at the University of Califonia noticed that certain chemicals,which are released

Since turtles are known to break the surface and sniff the air when finding the way to their
feeding areas,DrPfaller indicated that they are followng these same chemicals,and are likewise
fooled into thinking thatfloating plasticobjects are edible
To test that idea,he and his colleagues set up an experiment They arranged for15turtles,
each around five months old,to be exposed in random order,to four smells the vapor from
